AI Can Pretend to Be Anyone
AI can sound like any person — a friend, a celebrity, a teacher. That makes online strangers more dangerous.
If someone online sounds 'too friendly too fast' or 'just like a friend' but you have never met them in person, be extra careful.
Three rules for online strangers
- Never share personal info
- Tell a grown-up if anything feels weird
- Never agree to meet alone
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: AI makes online strangers easier to fake. Trust your gut and tell a grown-up.
